Like their counterparts at Leicester City, Middlesbrough fans overwhelming supported the introduction of safe standing at their ground – 94% backed the choice between sitting and standing at the match.

61% of those who prefer to sit still think fans should be given the choice of whether to sit or stand. 96% of Middlesbrough supporters who preferred to stand cite better atmosphere as their main reason for supporting safe standing.

Peter Daykin, co-ordinator of the Safe Standing Campaign at the Football Supporters' Federation, said: "We’re really pleased that so many Middlesbrough and Leicester City supporters have taken the time to contribute to these surveys.

"They’ve proven once again that safe standing is remarkably popular among all types of supporters and that fans overwhelmingly back the choice between seating and modern standing accommodation."
